You can also create Text Areas by:
• Copying text from another document or application, choosing your Create document, and choosing Edit->Paste (Command-V). Create will make a new Text Area containing the text in the Clipboard. The Text Area will be selected but not in edit mode.
• Dragging in text from an application that supports drag and drop. Create will make a new Text Area containing the text being dragged. The Text Area will be selected but not in edit mode.
• Dragging in a text file from the Finder. Create will make a new Text Area containing the contents of the file. If the file contains formatted text, the Text Area will contain formatted text. The new Text Area will be selected but not in edit mode. |
